Arsenal Dismiss Chelsea Links as Romano Says Lewis‑Skelly Will Stay

Club voices frame the teenager as vital cover at left back.

Overview

Fabrizio Romano said Arsenal are very happy with Myles Lewis-Skelly and are not considering parting ways in January.
Chelsea have been linked to the 19-year-old, with one report relayed via Sports Illustrated claiming the Blues contacted Arsenal and were told a sale to a domestic rival was not an option.
Romano added that Mikel Arteta sees Lewis-Skelly as a really important part of the project and intends to keep him in the squad.
Lewis-Skelly has yet to start a Premier League match this season, and outlets have suggested a search for minutes could factor into his England hopes.
Former Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre said he does not expect Lewis-Skelly to leave this season, as he provides depth behind first-choice Riccardo Calafiori.
